REVIEWED BY : ADRIANO MAURIZIO GRISANTI
REVIEW : My version of movies to go is on 2HD disks and has 6814
movie reviews, but the latest version is on 3HD disks with 9400
movie reviews, which I will be upgrading to shortly.
Once you have installed movies to go, you will be greeted with a TV
picture, which has the number of film reviews available to the user
in the right hand corner, & the movie titles to the left, which you
can scroll through using the page up/down keys, cursor keys or mouse,
you can also press a letter, say C and all the movies which start
with c & above will be listed. At the bottom of the picture are 4
icons for you to click on, these are F1 HELP, F2 SEARCH, F3 PRINT and
F4 TO QUIT. These icons are self explanatory, i.e pressing F1 gives
the user information or help on how to use the program, F2 enables
the user to search for various films, F3 lets the user print out
the films he/she has highlighted or selected & F4 quits the program.
A good thing about movies to go, is that it has a built in tutorial,
which is in the form of a demo, and runs through most of the
functions the program has to offer.
Movies to go has a powerful search feature, where you can find movies
* with you favorite actors / actresses
* directed by the most talented directors
* in categories such as comedy, romance, drama, ect.
* which have been assigned a particular rating
* without offensive language or scences
* which won academy awards
* in special category, such as "dog movies"
* and more, to much to list here.
Besides having video reviews, movies to go also has the latest cinema
films, being shown at the cinema.
Movies to go is the ideal package for cinema and movie buffs every
where, as it saves time reading magazine articles and saves hours on
end looking for the film/s you want, at your local video shop.
Movies to go, doesn't have state of the art SVGA graphics or sound
affects, but none of these are really required at the end of the day,
and so Movies to go scores 8/10 from me 9/10 from my father.
The price for movies to go is subject to change, so for further
